Shocking! Malnutrition before 14 - Everything for Free with a Surprise!

Free stuff - attractive and tempting

Free stuff are words that almost immediately focus our attention. They create an image full of mysterious gifts, surprises, and emotions. Who among us doesn’t enjoy receiving a complimentary gift or an unusual discount? Undoubtedly, free stuff is a part of our reality full of emotions, but at the same time they present a trap that we are not always aware of.

Undernourishment - the invisible enemy of the youth

Undernourishment, especially among children and adolescents up to 14 years old, is an increasingly common problem. Neglecting proper nutrition contributes to many negative health consequences. Unfortunately, we often focus on free things and the emotions they evoke, forgetting about the most important thing - the proper diet of our offspring.

The ailment of the 21st century

Most teenagers up to 14 years old believe that the more free things they acquire, the better. Wanting to gain more, they skip meals, focusing on the emotions associated with new, free things. Undernourishment is not immediately visible - first problems with concentration appear, and later serious health problems.

Preventing malnutrition during the era of free stuff

So how to balance the emotions of access to free things and possible consequences of undernourishment? The key is education - showing young people how important healthy nutrition and regular meals are, especially up to the age of 14. Parents and guardians should encourage a healthy lifestyle, while not denying access to free stuff. Everything is for people, but the health of a young organism should come first.
